Visiting Kin

Julia and I went to West Virginia for a spring break visit. It was fast, but it was fun. These are mostly photos of Max and Anne's blueberry farm. It was lovely weather with forsythia bursting in bloom and new lambs in the field.

I told Anne that their farm is my 'happy place.' And now that I've toodled around in her greenhouse, it's doubly so -- no place so quiet and peaceful as a greenhouse, I do think. I had a lovely visit there, staying with my parents and enjoying their company, with frequent visits to the farm and great talks with other family members. West Virginia is so beautiful in late March.
